Brunell starting was about "winning now". you see that happening? if someone is going to learn out there, it should be someone whose best years are AHEAD of him, not behind.

Based on last year, I still think Brunell knowing this offense would take us further than Campbell would at this point if he equally knew the offense. Campbell should get garbage time this year and take over next year. Remember, he still has not taken a single regular-season snap and until this year, hadn't even taken a preseason snap against another team.
I like that we're taking our time with Campbell. Most cases where that was done has worked out great...Steve Young, Brett Favre, even Mark Brunell earlier in his career. It's a rare QB that can be thrown into the fire right away and succeed, and I'm not sure Campbell is a Peyton Manning or Carson Palmer.
